In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the perplexing case of Jennifer Soto, the mother of Maddie Soto. Faddis analyzes the troubling circumstances surrounding Jennifer's involvement with Stephan Stearns, who faces serious charges, while Jennifer herself remains uncharged. The conversation explores various theories about Jennifer's potential complicity or cooperation with the authorities against Stearns. Faddis highlights the disturbing inconsistencies in Jennifer's statements, including her changing story about Maddie's last known whereabouts and the bizarre practice of numbering rooms in the house. These inconsistencies, coupled with the revelation that Jennifer allowed Stearns to sleep in the same bed as her daughter even after their breakup, cast a shadow on her credibility. The discussion raises questions about possible charges Jennifer could face, such as false reporting or child neglect, and considers the defense strategy she might employ if charged. Faddis speculates that Jennifer could argue she was under duress, influenced by an abusive relationship with Stearns. The episode also touches on the broader implications of the case, drawing parallels with other high-profile child abuse cases, and considers how Jennifer's actions might impact the jury's perception if she is brought to trial.
